What is a proton quark made up of?

well, a quark makes up protons, nutrons and electrons. there are some therios: but no awnser, quarks are basic things. but they make up this whole universe. it is not yet discoverd what makes up quarks.


What charge do the different subatomic particles have?

I suppose you are talking about electric charge (since there are others like color or hypercharge). Everything is in units of the elementary charge (i.e. ~1.6 * 10-19 C) The following particles have a charge of +2/3 Up Quark, Charm Quark, Top Quark The following particles have a charge of -1/3 Down Quark, Strange Quark, Bottom Quark The following particles have a charge of -1 Electron, Muon, Tau, Proton (but the Proton consists of two ups and one down quark), W- boson The following particles have a charge of +1 W+ boson The following particles have no charge: Electron Neutrino, Muon Neutrino, Tau Neutrino, Neutron (consists of two down and one up quark), Photon, Higgs (not found yet), Graviton (also not yet found), Z0 boson, gluon. There are also various other composite particles such as mesons, but those are far too numerous to list.


What atomic particles always carry a negative charge?

The electron, muon and tau; the down quark, the strange quark, the bottom quark; and the W boson.


It is theorized that protons and nuetrons are actuall formed from a combination of smaller particles what are these particles called?

These particles are called quarks. (Protons made up of two up quarks and a down quark, neutrons made up of two down quarks and an up quark.)


What types of particles are proton and neutrons and electrons?

Protons and neutrons are composed of smaller particles called quarks. Protons are made of two "up" quarks and one "down" quark, while neutrons are made of two "down" quarks and one "up" quark. Electrons are fundamental particles and are classified as leptons.

What particles are released from the nucleus when a down quark changes into an up quark?

When a down quark changes into an up quark in the nucleus, a Nestor is changing into a proton. The particles released (for almost all neutron to proton transformations) are an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.


Which is the smallest of the basic forms of subatomic particles?

Quark is the smallest particle ever discovered.


What is a elementary particle?

An elementary particle is considered to be a quark. A quark is a building block for subatomic particles.


What is an anti-down quark?

An anti-down quark is the antimatter counterpart of a down quark, one of the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. It has opposite electric charge to a down quark and can combine with other quarks to form antimatter particles.


What are quark particles found inside?

Nuetrons and protons.


3 sub-atomic particles of an atom?

Proton, neutron and electron At a lower level up quark, down quark, and electron


What is the speed of a quark?

Quarks do not exist as free particles and are always found within larger particles such as protons and neutrons. As a result, it is not meaningful to assign a speed to an individual quark.


How does the process of quark antiquark annihilation contribute to the creation of high-energy particles in particle physics?

In particle physics, the process of quark-antiquark annihilation contributes to the creation of high-energy particles by converting the mass energy of the quark and antiquark into new particles. This process releases a large amount of energy, which can result in the formation of high-energy particles such as mesons or photons.


How are quark and subatomic particles the same?

All are particles of matter; quarks are the components of protons and neutrons and are considered as fundamental fermionic particles.


What is an anti-beauty quark?

An anti-beauty quark, also known as a bottom antiquark, is the antiparticle counterpart of the beauty quark. It is a fundamental particle that has the opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers compared to the beauty quark. When a beauty quark and an anti-beauty quark pair up, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of other particles.
